HA T3-1 System

Yes, it is... I loaded the .set(.txt) files in no problemo's...

I have never gotten this before on any ea's...

Thanks!

Could it be that we have a diff version of a indicator than he is modeling the EA from

it seems i am getting even more errors than you

Hi fxdrive,

From the errors folks are posting above, it looks like the new version of the EA needs the FractalsLine indicator. That wasn't included in the .zip. Please post FractalsLine.

Thanks - desmodeus

FractalsLine.mq4 now attached. This latest v0.7 release is really only for people who want to amened and improve on the EA and is not something I would normally release. I left it as a work in progress so you are welcome to take what is there fix and add to it. I do intend to go back to it at some point when time permits. The fractal stop loss is outside of the rules here but something I was investigating at the time and did start to produce good back test results.

If you are not a coder then you will better to stick to the v0.1.

There will be errors with this EA you need to investigate and fix.

You will need the fractalsline.mq4 just posted along with the other indicators posted in the original v0.1 EA zip file. Search back using the paper clip at the top to find it.

As per my other post, if you are not a coder then try the v0.1 version of this EA.

Hello Ccanadas.

I still dont no how to use this files you send with the expert from Fxdive .
Can you explain more about it how to use it.

Thanks

Greet you,
Yoenes

Thanks for the indicator FXDRIVE

Hi FXDrive,

Thank you.

I will evaluate and see what happens.

Hi Yoenes,
you can send those files to the folder presets that is inside of experts folder. Once you got the files there, you should change the type file, that means you should rename it. NOw those files are in *.txt you have to change to *.set.

Hello Ccanadas

I have all rady past it in the preset folder and change it to set files but how can i use it with the expert?
I m not so familiar with experts .
I only no how to run the expert on the chart and where i have to past it.
sory for so many qustions.

thanks

Greet you,
Yoenes

Hi People,

I have been a spectator to a number of threads and I have always kept quiet; never uttered a word and probably this is why this is my first post !

But somehow after going through the complete 80 pages of this thread I could sense that this thread was also going in the same direction and was going to die a slow death. Trust me, infact you all know this already, it is one of the most brilliant strategies around.

Anyhow coming to the point straight. Over the weekend I managed to design an EA Scanner for this method which can alert you to all opportunities for your selected pairs. You need not open 10 charts, you need not run 2 Meta Traders copies on your machine, you need not individually go and check each chart for action, you need not miss a single trade, you need not let go of add-on trades..... the list the long, possibilities are endless and your creativity is in your hands, push it the max you can.

Before I go on talking have a look at the picture below to get an idea of what I am talking about.

Okay, now do I have you attention I will not be posting this EA as of now but I just wanted to let you guys know that I have this in store for you and I will get this up and running max by Monday Evening i.e. 10th May, 2010. I want to test it live first before letting you guys download it. Bcoz after downloading if the bugs come up then it can be really frustrating.

This Baby can do everything you ask of it (will build a trailing SL feature soon enough) it can alert you for positions, show you a picture of whats happening on higher time frame for all currencies of your choice, it can let you know which currency is in action (eg look at the pic below it seems AUD is weakening, a number of AUD pairs have gone into negative over the previous two bars as on Friday close), it can alert you for add-on positions, it can even let you know of fresh buy/sell entries on 30M, it sends you a position update for your closed positions every x mins.... let me not blabber too much.. check the attached document.

Please note I will not be sharing the MQL for this one. DO NOT THINK that I do not want to. But I really would hate to see a 1000 different copies of this baby coming up on this thread. However I will surely send it to TONY and to FxDrive for the wonderful work they both have done. And in future too if you want to come back this EA would always be posted in this post and on the first one (if Tony wants to).

I would suggest, guys let me know what you want to see in this EA Scanner, let it work with you and not for you. That ways it will be a smart machine and not a dumb EA. Read the doc for more info.

Anyhow what I would propose is lets take this thread full steam ahead, those who believe in Tonys method.

I and FxDrive, if he agrees we can work on the MQL, some of you take up the documentation part, some of you go all out on search of beautiful methods/ideas tips and tricks which we can build in this EA, some of the senior members can refine on tweaking this strategy even further.etc.etc. Like one of my EAs has the ability to take inputs from me as to how do I see different pairs fundamentally like if I see EUR weakening it will bias itself towards possible shorts on EUR and all this without feeding it truck loads of info. I do not stop the EA or take it offline, no ways. I just enter another order with a unique magic code and the EA senses this is what I am instructing it or commanding it to do and bang on there it goes like a faithful machine. I just tell it hey, this is what I feel is happening in the Fx Markets, lets see you adjust to this fact and make more money for me and trust me it works much better. Moreover the feeling of being connected with your machine is always there. Till date even some AI robots have failed all bcoz of the ever changing market dynamics, something which a human brain is capable of understanding but not a damn machine. Push a machine with your creativity and do not I mean it do not let it take over your decision making process. Make it more smart, efficient and command oriented and it will do wonders for you. At the same time you will learn every single day, you will understand the markets and gain more market experience something which would come in handy even after 10 years. But if you just let a machine do your job, then your learning curve about the markets and your curiosity stops then and there. Think about it !!

All my EAs till date have been semi-automatic with atleast 10-20% manual intervention and its been great working with machines. Trust me all old pros in here would agree with me on this one. An EA without its master is like a dumb machine. Either design one yourself or get a semi-automatic EA and let it be your slave and learn, make pips and enjoy at the same time.

More talking when I post the EA, just let me finish some testing and it would be up.

Best,
OFD

P.S. Till then look at the attached doc and the pic.

LATEST VERSION - "--- May 10, 2010 16:00 GMT --- " <-- Always ensure that when you load your EA Scanner the first settings shows these details, if not then you might be using an older version.

Okay guys so here is the EA Scanner I spoke about in the previous post.

But first, please note this is not perfect. I need your help in testing it thoroughly. You would understand that this baby has to scan almost 28 pairs and has to run calci's for 5 separate indicators (2 embedded) for each time frame. Moreover a number of checks to ensure that duplicate emails are not sent. It has the ability to decide on the direction of the 4H time frame by going back in time.etc. In short, there will be bugs in there and I promise to squash them if you guys are willing to help me.

How to Use it ?
1. Download the file and put it in your MetaTrader > Experts Folder
2. Attach it to Signal Time Frame Chart i.e. 30M chart of GBPJPY(most active) according to Tony's Strategy.
3. DO NOT FIDDLE with the Settings, if you want to trade as per Tony's Setup.
4. Incase you want to scan all 28 pairs just enter the variable 'SpreadLessThanOREqualTo' as 100.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the HA, W-LNX and Trend Lord in your Experts > Indicator folder and they should be named as 'Heiken_Ashi_Ma_T3-1', 'W-LNX' and 'TrendLord' respectively. Please note if you do not have these indicators download them from the first post and remember to name them exactly as stated in blue above. Names are case sensitive. I have embedded AO in the EA itself so you may or may not have the AO Indicator, it hardly matters.

This is all you have to do and you should start getting results. Initially please DO NOT rely on the alerts by this EA, please recheck each alert as per the rules of this method. Lastly, please do report all bugs and features you would like to see in this EA.

Bugs
1. There might be some issues with alerts on the 30M chart - OFD
2. Opening of properties dialog when the EA is running - rdwatkins

Add-Ons
1. Pair Selection by the user - Kosomolate

People who are using Tony's Method especially the old guys please share your results with us. I would really like to see them so that I get the boost to keep on working on this EA.

Happy Trading,
OFD

P.S. can someone please ping Tony and other old members of this thread so that they can also take this one for a trial run. I am a new here, so can't ping.

Onefineday, really appreciate your efforts in converting this strategy to a wining EA, My request to you is to keep it simple, when ever the EA gets a confirmed BUY or SELL entry based on the rules we all know it should alert and say confirmed signal .

I am offering my services for documentation and testing of this EA.

Regards

Unimak

Hi Yoenes,
once you got your files in the folder and name changed, when you drag and drop the EA to the chart it opens a window with EA settings. there you have at your bottom right side a buttom saying "Load", you must click there and search for the file that you want to test.
I hope this can help you.
sorry for my poor english...I am portuguese

though its not been released for testing, I must commend your great work, its powerful. If its possible to allow us choose the pairs to watch, for me that would be cool.

I am waiting for the release and if it does exactly what you explained in the PDF then you have made my trading experience sweet. cos I believe in TONY's system

thanks in advance OFD

kos

Please download, I have posted it. Added your suggestion as an enhancement & will fix it in the further releases. Also have you been trading Tony's system offlate, can you please share your combined results with us. i.e. avg net p/l per trade, avg no of trades/week... etc etc.


Have tried my level best to keep the options as user friendly as possible. Let me know how you find it.

onefineday: You are right, I had given this up due to the poor backtesting results from my EA. I like your idea of the semi-automatic approach which might make this profitable.

Count me in. It's good to have someone enthusiastic about this strategy.

Are you running this strategy profitably at the moment?

Onefineday,

This is excellent work! I applaud your efforts to make a less resource intensive approach to executing this trading system. I found that the resource strain on my machine was a bit much and had to reduce the pairs to have any consistency.

I am preparing to test and post results on a weekly basis. Thanks again.


Bug Report?
- When I first placed the EA on a stripped chart, I had only two posting for NZD pairs and a reference to a spread of >=12 Pips. I changed the spread setting to 100 Pips as I assumed that because my broker (FXCM UK) was a 5 digit broker that 12 Pips was being executed as 1.2 Pips. The resulting new screen had all pairs listed.
> Assumption: There may be a glitch in the 4 / 5 digit broker logic that caused this discrepancy.

If you wish to have screen shots posted, please frame how you wish bug reports to be posted (i.e. what inputs you need to make determination and resolve issues)

Thanks Again Onefineday!

To be honest to you I did try to but it was such a hosh posh I couldn't get a jist of whats happening where... so I decided to streamline things for myself. Basically I like a trading strategy only when I have full control over things and the way this strategy works is, it is more like catching a fish from the pond. I dont mind getting a small or a big fish. All I am interested in is getting to know that probably this is my best option at this point of time and I am going for it. Hope you get my point.

FxDrive as far as I believe this strategy is good but it can be refined further. Tony in his video shows a number of things which are purely discretionary like Divergences, Slowing TrendLord, Times when he Trades.etc.

Something which I like about this strategy was it would allow me to be in control all the time and eventually the results which I will get are not because of some stupid machine but because I knew how to use it and where.

Enough said Drop me an IM with your EM would love send the MQL over to you. Then we can both start working on it. For starting can you please check the signals on the 30M i think something is messed up there.

Let us all get together and throw features which you guys would want to see in this EA. Meanwhile FxDrive and I will get on the job of developing them. That ways we would be sharing the burden amongst all and get really good creative inputs from everyone.

What say?
